post your unpopular (or "contrarian") choice for a band's best album
Everyone can meme Bleach and call me a pleb as much as they want, this is still one of the best produced rock albums ever made
>>61538615
This is unpopular?
>>61538615
>>61538643
I agree with both of these
Currents is the best Tame Impala album, the rest of their discog is just mindless dad rock worship
>>61538728
absolutely disgusting
>>61538674
yes? most consider either mhtrtc or geogaddi their best and think that tch was a relatively disappointing follow-up to those two albums.
Ummagumma best PF Album.
>>61538615
In a beautiful place is better
Bjork
The sun came up
The sun came out
The sun did us in
The sun came out and tore us up
It ripped the shit out of our behinds
>>61538909
i agree, but that's in ep. in general i think boc's eps are stronger than their full-lengths.
>>61538814
I think most people seem to prefer them for their sinister undertones but TCH with its washed out production makes me feel unlike any other album I know. It's as though I'm taken away to some other place where I don't have to care about anything.
>>61538818
actually true
One of These Days, San Tropez, Fearless, Pillow of Winds, and Echoes are among the best songs they've written
Seamus is ok
>>61539709
that's meddle
>>61541340
I mean
>>61538615
Hail to the Thief
>>61541430
not very contrarian I don't think
basically all choices apart from f#a#oo (their real best) are equally viable
>>61541501
But Slow Riot is the best thing they've ever done
>>61541520
Scaruffi rated Slow Riot the lowest of all so I guess this is objectively false
>>61541550
Scruffy is a flid
lay it on me
>>61538615
I don't get why people hate this album,
I could get if people who don't like ambient hate it, but BOC fans calling it boring doesn't make sense to me.
Yeah it is dry and cold but why is that a bad thing? It has a great atmosphere
>>61541550
why should anyone care what scaruffi says
>>61541679
I was joking ofc
he's usually right though
anyway I didn't like Slow Riot much even before reading his review, f#a#oo is the only one I really get excited about - yanqui and skinny fists are too slow and drab honestly
I feel like tch, mhtrtc, and geogaddi have all been my favorite at one time. it really depends on my mood.
>>61541632
I don't remember anyone hating it, I certainly don't. I just don't feel it's on the same level as the other three. someone said it was boards of canada copying people copying them, and that kinda stuck.
>>61541776
>I don't remember anyone hating it
at most, people didn't think it lived up to the hype of a new boc album. I kinda agree, but it was still a good album
>>61541813
I could see that, I love the album but let's be honest, it's not anything untouchable for others to do like the prior three albums seem to be. Luckily, I wasn't around for the hype, I got into BOC kinda late, like a little after th released.
I love this fake "i sold my soul to the devil" shit.
>>61538615
agree
>>61538643
not a contrarian and not correct
>>61541430
Respectable opinion, but I disagree.

>>61538615
For BOTH of 'em.
>>61541759
>too slow and drab honestly
You're listening to Godspeed, that's their forte.
WAYYYY better than their first album. I didn't think the Avalanches could top it, but they did.
>>61542058
agreed
>>61539008
Can you explain why? I'm interested
>>61543154
kek
This is the best pop album ever made.
>>61544625
haha
tbf though I study physics and I like the little entropy speech at the beginning. It's total trash otherwise
>>61544787
>the beginning
>talking about the second to last track
bitch what
>>61544625
Rubbish meme
>>61544625
i have never seen a less fitting tripname
>oh shit, oh shit, i got one
>>61544839
I just checked and turns out I accidentally listened to that whole album in alphabetical order by mistake
still a shit album
>>61538615
Bleach isn't a fucking meme, faggot. Go blow your daddy's ding dong, dipshit.
>>61541632
I really dug it
Tortoise s/t
>>61545447
not really unpopular
>>61545359
would you mind pointing out where in that post OP mentioned Bleach
Colors is a bit boring
>>61538643
>contrarian
>>61546934
i think they meant to reply to >>61538643
>>61538615
campfire is their worst album.
>>61547065
that would be tomorrow's harvest
>>61547076
fite me irl
>>61547115
nah, i like melodies as opposed to a bunch of half-baked appeggios
>>61547016
I don't understand why this is such a popular album. Dogs and Sheep are great tracks, but the rest is utter shit.
>>61538909
>>61539395
Wrong and wrong.
A Few Old Tunes Vol. 1
>>61547076
nope.
>>61548263
yep.
>>61547152
Why do you like Dogs and Sheep but not Pigs (3)?
>>61538615
this is their best album though
>>61538643
nope, In Utero
>>61541632
I can't stand this compared to other BoC for some reason.
>>61545043
Discipline and LTIA are best but Lizard is a good choice too
>>61547016
nah. Saucerful or AHM. Or Live in Paris
>>61548258
good album but doesn't really count desu senpai
Every song is literally perfect and perfectly placed.
>>61548337
This guy gets it
>>61538615
But The Campfire Headphase is their best album, followed closely by Geogaddi
While not my favorite (that title belongs to Frances) this album is mad underrated and is easily my second favorite TMV release.
>>61547004
Parallax II is way better
>>61538615
Campfire Headphase is my fave BoC album, OPbro.
>>61538728
this
>>61542500
mum?
>>61538615
>>61551992
Is this not the most popular choice? What is then?
>>61551996
I really hated that album when TMV was my favourite band, please make me apreciate it.
>>61541632
Two tracks from TH are my favourite from BoC of all time. Come To Dust and Nothing Is Real.
>>61538643
>inb4 not an album
Not even sure if /mu/ has even heard Cabaret Voltaire. Never seen them mentioned here.
>>61541888
Why do you think it's their best album?
>>61541632
Best in terms of themes and atmosphere, but lacks standout tracks compared to their other albums. Though there are some great ones towards the end.
>>61542058
I only like the first two tracks, I don't like witch house — but Crystal Castles probably did somehing right considering how no one can agree on what their best albums are. (I think their second one wins by far.)
>>61551996
Same. The only thing I don't like about this album is how abrupt the ending is.
>>61538862
>>61539008
Those are certainly uncommon opinions.
